Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “prioritising the interests of the big corporates” over the welfare of the poor, middle class, small businessmen, farmers, and labourers.
While campaigning for the Congress in Telangana on Saturday, Ms. Gandhi pointed out that the Modi government has waived off loans worth ₹16 lakh crore for corporate companies, while several farmers died by suicide due to their inability to repay loans as low as ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh over the last decade.
The Congress leader addressed poll meetings in Tandur, Chevella Lok Sabha constituency, and Kamareddy, Zaheerabad LS constituency, where she reiterated the Congress promise to introduce the Minimum Support Price Act, eliminate GST on farm tools, and implement other measures to support farmers. She flayed Mr. Modi for “being incapable of discussing his own performance, and instead resorting to divisive tactics based on religion to retain power”.
